Re: New Problem

the real problem though, based on your previous post is that you are not using the correct varaible. It should be $_POST['submit']; and yes, you should test for it, using isset or somthing similar like check out the section of the manual on register_globals. yours is set to off. if ($_POST['submit] == 'Enter information') { some stuff } hth jeff "Steen Rabol" <srabol@mail.t To: "Eugene Wolff" <eugenew@htm.co.za> ele.dk> cc: php-install@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-INST] New Problem 01/06/2003 09:17 AM Hi Well... If you look at your script, you'll see that you are trying to test on $submit, the 'problem' is that you have not defined $submit, not as a local var and not as a var from eg a URL, in other words: You are trying to test on something that you have not yet defined - IMHO 'sloppy' code. You can however remove the error message by using the error_reporting() or change error_reporting in the php.ini, but the best solution is to either test if the var isset or define and assign it before using it ! eg: if(isset($submit) && $submit === true) { .... } Best Steen "Eugene Wolff" <eugenew@htm.co.za> wrote: > Hi, > > I have the following script.
